A field guide for men who are supporting their wife or significant other in becoming free of cancer. Especially when they are hit by a stroke in mid-treatment. I outline the process and experiences, and offer tips and hints for others. My dear wife, Meagan, died from Stage 4 melanoma cancer.

Big Day Today
Today we get the results from the PET/CT scans she had yesterday.It's always a difficult night's sleep before results day. We had such high hopes for Ipilimumab, now called Yervoy, that it was a real disappointment that our scans at week 12 and week 16 didn't show any signs of efficacy, even though she had indications of side effects. She hasn't had any new subcutaneous tumors pop up this month, so we have cautious optimism that things aren't moving too quickly, even though we know the tumors are growing. Stay tuned.....
